Most-quoted passages

The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 78 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

3. ““In Insurance Co. v. Dunn [ 19 Wall. 214 , 22 L. Ed. 68 ] it was held that after a motion for a new trial had been granted, a removal might be had. But after one trial, the right to a second must be perfected before a demand for the transfer can be properly made. Every trial of a cause is final until in some form it has been vacated. Causes cannot fie removed to the circuit court for a review of the action of the state court, hut only for trial. The circuit court cannot, after one trial in a state court, determine whether there shall be another. That is for the state court.””
